Nightly drive, should be asleep I'm crying 'bout another creep Frozen hands hold broken lines And I'm alone again tonight And waiting And waiting To see your name pop on my screen Sometimes I wish that you were mean You treat me like you treat yourself That's why I'm high up on your shelf And waiting Still waiting First I'm tough but then I'm weak And if I was a masterpiece You'd say I'm worthy of a ring And kiss me like I'm everything to you You want me in the shadows In the dark hours of the night Why is it so hard for you to love me in the light? A dirty little secret You keep me out of sight When all I'm asking of you is to love me in the light Love me in the light Love me in the light A butterfly in a cocoon I watch to get my mind off you I'm seeing metamorphosis And I can't help but think of us We're changing We're changing, oh I hoped that I could plant a seed That made you see the best in me And dissipated all your doubts And you'd declare your love out loud for me You want me in the shadows In the dark hours of the night Why is it so hard for you to love me in the light? A dirty little secret You keep me out of sight When all I'm asking of you is to love me in the light Love me in the light Love me in the light Love me in the light Love me in the light Who cares what people are saying? I know I am still deserving Why can't you love me the way I am? Who cares what people are saying? I know I am still deserving Why can't you love me the way I am? You want me in the shadows In the dark hours of the night Why is it so hard for you to love me in the light? A dirty little secret You keep me out of sight When all I'm asking of you is to love me in the light Love me in the light Love me in the light Love me in the light Love me in the light
